Overseas with no access to my own cash

<p>Pathetic!</p> <p>I left for a long overseas trip over a week ago. Prior to leaving I called std bank to inform them I was going away, where to and for how long. I did this because last time I travelled std bank cancelled my accommodation payment and so I had no place to stay because I didn't tell them I was travelling.</p> <p>Ok. So arrive in new country, go to atm and was able to draw 1000 us dollars. Great. Except that my accommodation was 2000 dollars. No problem I was just going to draw 1000 dollars again the next day. Wrong! Big problem. I was declined owing to exceeding limits! How riduliculous but ok. So last night I called std bank call centre told my problem and asked for them to raise my limits. They say they did.</p> <p>All I know is this morning I was unable to draw cash again. This is pathetic. How can I be stuck with out access to my own cash?</p> <p>Someone at std bank. Pls help me...</p> <p>BTW because telkom mobile is also hopeless my phone doesn't work here to please reply via email. Kann.mike @ gmail.</p> <p>Thanks</p>
